DefenseReview.com (DR) just found out today from a contact of ours at Lucky Gunner Ammo (www.LuckyGunner.com) that we’ve been nominated for a Gunnie Award in two categories: “2011 Best Gun Blog – Gear Reviews” and “2011 Best Gun Blog – News”. DR is grateful for the nominations, and we’d ask that our readers vote for us in both categories, if you think we deserve to win. You can visit the 2011 Gunnie Awards Voting Ballot Page and vote for DefenseReview.com by clicking on the following link:

Just follow the directions at the link above to vote (in both categories!). Thanks so much! We greatly appreciate it.

The following information about the Gunnie Award comes from the LuckyGunner.com website:

“The 2011 Gunnie Awards (aka “The Gunnies“) recognize the best gun bloggers & websites for their contribution to firearm news, politics, and law over the past year. Each award is based on your votes, so vote below and help decide who deserves to win!

How it Works:
Vote for your favorite website using the ballot below & choose the winners for the 2011 Gunnies. All nominees & categories are listed in alphabetical order.

Winners Announced:
Gunnie winners will be announced & honored on Saturday night, May 28th at the 2011 LuckyGunner.com Blogger Shoot held in Knoxville, TN this Memorial Day Weekend. Winners do not have to be present to win; those who are not present will have their trophies & ammo mailed to them.

Hope you’re doing well since we saw each other at the SHOT Show earlier this year. Wanted to take this opportunity to reach out to you personally to let you know that you’ve been nominated for a Gunnie Award which’ll be awarded at our upcoming Blogger Shoot in Knoxville this Memorial Day Weekend. You see, The Gunnies are an awards ceremony we’ll be hosting Saturday night at the Shoot and Defense Review has been nominated for an award in the following category:

Best Gun Blog – Gear Reviews
Best Gun Blog – News

Voting is now open for the next 14 days to determine the winners in each of the 9 categories. It’d be pretty cool if you could announce your nomination for The Gunnies on your site, kinda like AmmoLand.com has done here (your competition!) – www.ammoland.com/2011/05/12/2011-gunnie-award-categories-announced/ – and encourage your readers to go vote for you via the online ballot here: http://www.luckygunner.com/2011-gunnie-awards.

As you can see from our ballot page, each category winner gets an engraved, really nice Italian-made 30mm replica round trophy from Technoframes. Winners will be announced on Saturday night at our Blogger Shoot during the banquet. Also, every winner gets their choice of 100 free rounds of ammo from LuckyGunner.com, since Technoframes & us are sponsoring the awards ceremony. The winners do not have to be present at the Shoot to win but whoever wins The Gunnie in each category will get their engraved trophy + free ammo along with some good ole fashioned bragging rights & a cool badge to show that they were the highest vote-getter like this badge below:
